Filmed on site, the EX28 makes short work of serious timber. With a 10cc saw unit and 82cm the Frame harvester bar, it’s capable of cutting through logs up to 65cm in diameter with ease.
Mounted to a Rototilt, the integration allows for seamless movement, giving operators full flexibility without repositioning the base machine and turning a multi-step process into a streamlined, single-operator workflow.
Built for the Real World
Designed for 8–30 tonne excavators and equipped with an angled headstock, the EX28 enables precise horizontal and vertical cuts. It delivers the kind of performance and reliability contractors can depend on day in, day out.
“We’ve always believed excellent design and engineering speak for themselves,” says Murray Clark, Managing Director at Powerhand. “The EX28 is a great example of that. It’s tough, precise, and designed to give the operator full control, no matter the job site.”
This is a smart upgrade for operators running high-spec tiltrotator excavators who want to improve safety, speed, and efficiency across forestry, tree care, and clearance operations.
Watch the video and see the Powerhand EX28 in action. When power meets precision, the results speak for themselves.
